With so much of our personal and professional lives being shared all day long via smartphones, it's wise to invest in another layer of security in addition to just adding a device password. Snap Secure for Android wants to be your one-stop shop to keeping your smartphone, its data, and you safe around the clock.

Starting with your smartphone's data. Snap Secure can back up all of your personal data, including call/text logs, calendar dates and email messages, in once place that's secured using 24-bit data encryption. A bonus is you can restore your data to a different device. So if you upgrade your smartphone, you can use the app to integrate it with your current data. The app also offers malware scanning and other anti-virus tactics so your data isn't corrupted.

Snap Secure also keeps your smartphone safe by offering smartphone tracking via GPS "find my phone" that be located by using the Snap Secure online dashboard. Just in case your phone can't be retrieved, you can use the dashboard to perform a remote wipe so no one else gains access to your data. If somebody inserts a foreign SIM card into your phone, the phone will be locked down and you will be alerted by email with location information.

Up to five family members can be added to one Snap Secure account. This enables users to add their families smartphones (I'm assuming all phones must be Androids) to the plan to track data, call, and text usage, and even keep track of where your family member's location. Geo-fencing is included so parents can set a perimeter around where their kids are allowed to go, and can be sent alerts notifying them when their kids "wander" outside the agreed boundary. If you or a family member feels they are in danger, Snap Secure offers a "panic button" that when pressed, can send out a text message, email, phone call, or even a tweet to let anybody you're connected with know your whereabouts.

There are other added features like the ability block unwanted calls, and app transparency, so you can clearly see what apps have access to what data. To make a long story short, Snap Secure consolidates many of the one or two features you use across multiple apps and services, into one robust service. It's free to sign up, with plans starting at $5.99/month for up to five family members and unlimited devices. Check it out and let us know what you think.
